TECHNICAL FIELD

Some aspects generally relate to (and are not limited to) an apparatus including a garment and a magnet assembly mounted to the garment (and method therefor).

BACKGROUND

Garments and garment-storage devices are known.

SUMMARY

It will be appreciated that there exists a need to mitigate (at least in part) at least one problem associated with existing garments. After much study of the known systems and methods with experimentation, an understanding of the problem and its solution has been identified and is articulated as follows:

For anyone who wears suits or dress pants on a daily basis, the problem of ensuring the hem and seams of the pant legs are aligned when the pants are hung on a clothes hanger is an annoying problem. If the pant seams are not aligned, the ironed-crease in the pant leg can be diminished and the pants can be left with unwanted wrinkles.

To address this problem, the pant wearer has to align the hems and seams by hand, often using one's chin to hold the pants in alignment, while feeding the pant legs through a clothes hanger. Often this works, but it can take some time and coordination. Compounding this problem is the fact that the task of hanging the garment (clothing item) often happens late at night or early in the morning when the individual (the user) is tired and irritable. Moreover, even if the seams are aligned perfectly, they can inadvertently shift once on the clothes hanger. This is especially true if one is traveling with their clothing in a garment bag or if the articles of clothing are moved in a closet as new articles are added or removed from the closet.

To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with existing garments, there is provided (in accordance with a major aspect) an apparatus. The apparatus is for a user. The apparatus includes (and is not limited to) a garment configured to be worn by the user. The garment is positionable in a hung position. The apparatus also includes a magnet assembly operatively mounted to the garment. This is done in such a way that the magnet assembly aligns portions of the garment once the garment is removed from the user and the garment is positioned in the hung position.

To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with existing garments, there is provided (in accordance with a major aspect) a method. The method is for operating an apparatus. The apparatus is for a user. The method includes (and is not limited to) operatively mounting a magnet assembly to a garment configured to be worn by the user. The garment is positionable in a hung position in such a way that the magnet assembly aligns portions of the garment once the garment is removed from the user and the garment is positioned in the hung position.

Other aspects are identified in the claims.

FIG. 1 depicts a front view of an embodiment of an apparatus 100 including a garment 102 and a magnet assembly 103.

Referring to the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1 (and to all of the FIGS.), the apparatus 100 is for a user 900. The apparatus 100 includes (and is not limited to) a combination of the garment 102 and the magnet assembly 103. The garment 102 is configured to be worn by the user 900. The garment 102 is positionable in a hung position. The hung position is depicted in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 4.

The magnet assembly 103 is operatively mounted (either directly or indirectly) to the garment 102. This is done in such a way that the magnet assembly 103 aligns portions of the garment 102 once the garment 102 is removed from the user 900 and the garment 102 is positioned in the hung position (as depicted in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 4). The magnet assembly 103 remedies the problem associated with aligning the portions of the garment 102 when the user 900 removes the garment 102 (for storage of the garment 102). The magnet assembly 103 may be sewn or glued into or onto a portion of the garment 102. Other methods of coupling the magnet assembly 103 may include the use of touch fasteners (also called hook-and-loop fasteners), a fabric pocket, etc.

In accordance with an embodiment, the garment 102 includes a pant 202 (also called a pair of pants) or other type of garment. The garment 102 is positionable in a hung position and/or a folded condition (such as, on a clothes hanger 902 as depicted in FIG. 2A). For the case where the garment 102 includes a pant 202 (for instance), once the user 900 removes the pant 202, the magnet assembly 103 acts to magnetically align the pant seams and/or the pant creases of the pant 202 (which are examples of portions of the garment 102). The magnet assembly 103 is configured to ensure that the pant cuffs and the pant seams are aligned once the user 900 removes the pant 202 and the pant 202 is placed in the hung position.

In accordance with an option, the magnet assembly 103 includes (and is not limited to) a combination of a first magnet device 104 and a second magnet device 106. The first magnet device 104 is operatively mounted to the garment 102. The second magnet device 106 is operatively mounted to the garment 102. The second magnet device 106 is spaced apart from the first magnet device 104.

The first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 are fixedly positioned on the garment 102. The first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 are magnetically attractive to each other once the garment 102 is positioned in the hung position. This is done in such a way that the first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 magnetically attract each other and assist in maintaining portions of the garment 102 in a substantially flat condition while the garment 102 is in the hung position.

The first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 solves the problem of garment storage (storage of the garment 102). The first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 are configured to assist in alignment of the pant seams and/or the pant creases of the pant 202 (or the portions of the garment 102) once the user 900 removes the pant 202. The first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 may be installed to the hem of the pant 202 to ensure that the pant creases (the pant cuffs and/or the pant seams) are aligned once the pant 202 is placed in the hung position. The first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 are configured and positioned in such a way to ensure that the pant creases are aligned once the pant 202 is placed in the hung position.

By way of example, the magnet assembly 103 (or the first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106) may be plastic laminated. The first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 may have a nickel alloy. The first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 may be 23 millimeters wide and two millimeters thick. The first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 may weigh about five grams to ensure that the first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 are light enough to be unnoticeable by the wearer of the pant 202. It will be appreciated that the magnet assembly 103 (and any magnet described herein) may include a flexible magnetic plastic material that has no rigid component, a metal based magnet, etc.).

The first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 are sized and configured to fasten the first pant leg 201A and the second pant leg 201B in alignment with each other once removed (from the user 900). The first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 facilitate the aligned hanging of the pant 202 and ensure that the portions of the pant 202 (such as, the pant seams and/or the pant creases) are straight and aligned once the pant 202 is positioned in the hung position (removed from the user 900).

The first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 may be sewn and/or glued into or onto the inside hem of the pant 202 at the pant seam, one on each of the first pant leg 201A and the second pant leg 201B. Of course, other methods of fastening may be used, such as touch fasteners, etc.

When the pant 202 is removed from the user 900, the first magnet device 104 and the second magnet device 106 are configured and positioned to ensure that the hem of the first pant leg 201A and the second pant leg 201B are magnetically fastened together. This arrangement has a number of benefits (related to ensuring that the pant seam and ironed crease of the first pant leg 201A and the second pant leg 201B remain aligned and straight once the pant 202 is placed in the hung position). This alignment decreases wrinkling, maintains the ironed crease in the pants 202, and facilitates quick and straight hanging of the pants 202 onto the clothes hanger 902 (depicted in FIG. 2A).

Referring to a first option for the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1, the first magnet device 104 includes a first leg-mounted magnet 204 operatively mounted (affixed) to a first pant cuff 214 of the pant 202.

The second magnet device 106 includes a second leg-mounted magnet 206 operatively mounted (affixed) to a second pant cuff 216 of the pant 202. The first leg-mounted magnet 204 and the second leg-mounted magnet 206 are magnetically attractive to each other.

The first leg-mounted magnet 204 and the second leg-mounted magnet 206 are positioned on the inside of the front pant crease 212 on respective one of the first pant leg 201A and the second pant leg 201B of the pant 202 (also called the pair of pants).

Referring to a second option for the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1, the first magnet device 104 includes a first waist-mounted magnet 304 operatively mounted (affixed) proximate to a waist band 208 of the pant 202.

The second magnet device 106 includes a second waist-mounted magnet 306 operatively mounted (affixed) to the waist band 208 of the pant 202 (or proximate to the waist band 208). The first waist-mounted magnet 304 and the second waist-mounted magnet 306 are magnetically attractive to each other.

In accordance with an option, for the case where it is desired to assist in further secured storage of the pant 202 on the clothes hanger 902, the first waist-mounted magnet 304 and the first leg-mounted magnet 204 are magnetically attractive to each other. In accordance with an option, for the case where it is desired to assist in further secured storage of the pant 202 on the clothes hanger 902, the second waist-mounted magnet 306 and the second leg-mounted magnet 206 are magnetically attractive to each other.

A fly line 210 extends from the waist band 208 between each front pant crease 212 formed on each of the first pant leg 201A and the second pant leg 201B of the pant 202. The first waist-mounted magnet 304 and the second waist-mounted magnet 306 are positioned on opposite sides of the fly line 210. A pocket line 211 is formed below the waist band 208 on opposite sides of the fly line 210. Belt loops 213 are positioned on opposite sides of the waist band 208, and the first waist-mounted magnet 304 and the second waist-mounted magnet 306 are positioned proximate to respective belt loops 213.

The first waist-mounted magnet 304 and the second waist-mounted magnet 306 are positioned (affixed) on the inside of the pant 202, at the waist band 208 of the pant 202, and this is done in such a way that each front pant crease 212 becomes aligned with each other once the pant 202 is hung (in storage, as depicted in FIG. 2A).

In view of the foregoing, there is provided a method of operating the apparatus 100. The method includes (and is not limited to) operatively mounting the magnet assembly 103 to the garment 102 configured to be worn by the user 900, and the garment 102 is positionable in the hung position in such a way that the magnet assembly 103 aligns portions of the garment 102 once the garment 102 is removed from the user 900 and the garment 102 is positioned in the hung position.
